Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server

[matt-shirey]

I just followed the setup to install php 7.1 drivers on my Mac but I'm having a few issues. I get two errors when I try to interact with the database.

[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
  SQLSTATE[01000]: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server' : file not found (SQL: select * from sysobjects where type = 'U' and name = migrations)

  [PDOException]
  SQLSTATE[01000]: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server' : file not found

[matt-shirey]

Just found this and it fixed my issue.

Oddly, I'm seeing this error whenever I try to run sqlsrv_connect even though I've followed all the instructions carefully for installing ODBC 17 (because I'm on Debian 9). I can use sqlcmd just fine to talk to the DB, but not PHP. I do notice that I have both PHP 7.1 and PHP 7.2 installed. Could the fact that I have two installs be fouling up something in the ODBC 17 installation process? Thanks.

[david-puglielli]

@elramus sqlcmd is part of mssql-tools, not the ODBC driver. Just to clarify, I assume you are using the msodbcsql and mssql-tools previews available on this page? Also, PHP installs have nothing to do with the ODBC driver install, so that is not the problem.

If the error you are getting says that ODBC driver 13 cannot be found, you can add the Driver keyword to the connection string and specify version 17 as follows:

Driver={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};

or in the connection options in your PHP script,

array("Driver"=>"ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server");

Please let us know if this fixes the problem.

[david-puglielli]

@mauricio0015 Please follow the instructions on the ODBC install page to install msodbcsql and mssql-tools. If you are using Debian 9 or Ubuntu 17.10, you may need to use the preview versions on this page instead, because their public repositories have not been updated.

[neoacevedo]

In my case on openSUSE I get the following error:
Message: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server' : file not found

I don't know why is trying to use Driver 13. I am testing on PHP 7.2.1

[elramus]

Thanks for the clarifications @david-puglielli. Yes, I got msodbcsql and mssql-tools through the instructions here. For some context, my end goal is to have Laravel framework in a LAMP environment talk to an MS SQL Server database. Found lots of conflicting info on how to get Laravel to talk to MS SQL, so I'm unclear on which PHP driver(s) I need: sqlsrv, pdo_sqlsrv, pdo_odbc, or pdo_dblib.

I tried adding "Driver"=>"ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server" to the connection options of sqlsrv_connect, but it shows SQLSTATE: IMSSP<br/>Code: -1<br/>Message: Invalid option Driver was passed to sqlsrv_connect.

[david-puglielli]

@elramus I think you may be using the stable version of the sqlsrv driver, which does not support ODBC driver 17. Could you try pecl install sqlsrv-5.2.0RC1 (or download the latest binaries from the releases page) and let us know if the problem is fixed? Thanks!

[elramus]

hi @david-puglielli, I stopped trying with Deb 9 to avoid dealing with ODBC 17 altogether. Tried a bunch of times with Ubuntu 16.04, but still ran into basically the same thing. Opened a new issue: #689. Thanks for your help with this.

[moeenuddin]

@david-puglielli Thanks. Changing the driver name worked.
I was infact trying to access sql data warehouse azure via python notebook in the ML studio. The driver not found error was out puting. The issue is posted on SO as well.

Thanks.

Closing this issue due to inactivity. If any of you still have issues, please create a new issue. Thank you.

[willgdjones]

Still encountering some issues. Having installed pyodbc with conda, and msodbcsql as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server I encounter the same error.

Error: ('01000', "[01000] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server' : file not found (0) (SQLDriverConnect)")

[yitam]

DId you install ODBC 17 or ODBC 13, @willgdjones ? Which platform?

Assuming you're looking for ODBC 13, please type odbcinst -q -d -n "ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server" and see if the driver really exists in the path. For example, in CentOS, you may see something like

[ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server]
Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server
Driver=/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-13.1.so.9.2
UsageCount=1

Check if /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-13.1.so.9.2 actually exists.

[willgdjones]

This is on Mac OSX 10.3.1

[willgdjones]

Data KUL git:(master) ✗ odbcinst -q -d -n "ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server"
[ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server]
Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server
Driver=/usr/local/lib/libmsodbcsql.13.dylib
UsageCount=1

It seems that the driver is installed on my system.

[yitam]

hi @willgdjones , regrettably we don't support anything lower than Mac OS X 10.11

Even if it looks like ODBC 13 is installed, it may not work properly.

[david-puglielli]

@Dkeimerunthe You need to have the ODBC driver installed. Here is the link.

[Dkeimerunthe]

Thanks david-puglielli, i am sorry im not good at this, but i already installed the Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for sql server in my machine. but still encountering the same problem check my web olympusmuonline.com

[hasanmehmood]

You guys might not have ODBC drive. Please install it first.
